Danish musician/producer Tomas Barfod has been at it for over a decade, as part of the duo Filur, drummer of WhoMadeWho, and as a solo musician with a number of releases (some under the name Tomboy). Last year, he moved to LA and released his first full length under his own name, Salton Sea, on LA electronic label Friends of Friends, which has also given us quality releases from Shlohmo, Salva, Groundislava and more. Among other things, that album included his super-catchy single "November Skies" with lead vocals from Nina Kinert. The single was also released as an EP that featured remixes by Nite Jewel, Sepalcure, Jerome LOL, and more. You can stream the full album and the EP below, and grab an MP3 of "November Skies" (Radio Version) above.

Tomas is now working on a new album, and while few details have surfaced on that, he's promising to announce info sooner than later. Earlier this year he released a bass-thumping new single, "Fallen," (with lead vocals from Liv Lykke, not to be confused with Lykke Li). Maybe that track will be on the album? You can stream that below as well.

Tomas doesn't have any dates scheduled at the moment, but he recently wrapped up some US DJ dates. Hopefully we can expect more shows to be announced soon. Stay tuned.

Hip hop producer Ryan Hemsworth has made beats for Squadda B, Deniro Farrar, and Shady Blaze, and done a number of remixes in addition to releasing his own material, like 2012's Last Words EP. Just last week he dropped the song "BasedWorld" (which you can stream below) and today he resurfaced with another new track, "An Overture Might Help Me Stop Thinking About You," which he is contributing to LA electronic label Friends of Friends' new compilation, Show Me the Future, which is due out on January 15. You can stream Ryan's contribution to the compilation and find more details about it below.

In related news, Octo Octa is also contributing the song "Smooth West" to the Friends of Friends compilation and he has an upcoming NYC show as well. He plays 285 Kent on March 2 with Magic Touch and Pharoahs. Admission is $10 at the door. Octo Octa also recently revealed a new track called "So Lux," which you can stream below.
